  1. I just toured some of the most idiotic $$ ever spent in the name of Catholism. Hell, Louis the 14th's house took more than half the GNP of France to build.

  3. What are ya'll eating first?Bread
  4. I am listening to the 1337's right now FULL range Of course, mine are on axis. As for "testing" you have three main options. Sine waves, Bandpass filter white/pink noise, music. The latter being the hardest to tell frequency range, the first being obnoxious and capable of masking reality if you listen to them. With a hard cone like that you also have to worry about the breakup mode distorting your reality. ie, trying to listen to them full range and equalizing out the breakup would be good. They have a breakup that adds >10dB of gain above 10kHz. If you don't want to go through the effort of neutralizing that on these, I'd just make sure my crossover is at least 10dB down by 10-11kHz and then do your listening tests. Anything less will handicap the results with the extra gain up top. Make sure to try different slopes and see when you change the cross point if you like one better than the other. They have a sensitivity null somewhere around 1kHz or so as well IIRC. A shelf filter above that rolloff isn't a terrible idea either. Of course this assumes you have a somewhat flexible processor. Im sure the tweets can pick up the 10khz+ range. I think I understand you instructions but I haven't noticed the null above 1khz yet, but I think you can see it in the published freq response. My minidps can do shelf filters. So should I add a bit of gain above 1khz? Tangental question, does the hiccup in the impedance plot at 900-1000hz correspond to the sensitivity null? here's a link to the pdf. No gain necessary. 1k you have more car problems to deal with than driver problems.

    Wired kit? Did you try it up close first? Some aren't compatible with different IR signals. I had to try a couple before I could get my old tv to work
  6. THIS. Ryan knows his shit....in particular If it wears an oval.
  7. On as plane with the w. Paris and food here we come
  8. And definitely do each driver independently...
  9. You need an RTA. You could also play tones one by one and notate what your ears pickup, but it's too time-consuming and far from accurate. I don't hardly ever use an RTA...and I have access to "real" ones. Just bandpass some noise over different ranges and when it either gets breakup nasty or doesn't sound any different you will know where you are.

  11. That is very hard to paint. Our main painter has been working on that. Cool stuff! She is kinda sexy in a weird way. Lol Throat fuck ftmfw?
  12. Awesome. Good luck!!
  13. Explains the slip to the mystical 5th.
  14. Yikes. How have things been otherwise?
  15. I paid $180 for my PPI. i think this minidsp unit is the equivalent of the ppi deq rather than the dsp-88r. There's not enough difference between any of them to justify more than a $20 price difference. Still too much IMO. I'm looking to buy some new dsp's I think. in between cars I had my minidsp's in a box and my dad accidentally damaged them, at least that's my current theory. I'm still diagnosing the problem but it sounds like I'm overloading the inputs with my behringer uca222 (im hearing some static and popping) but changing the jumper didn't help. bypassing the dsp and going directly to the amp fixes the issue. But there is also some dependency on air temp which is making me second guess everything. I don't think my Behringer overloads the inputs on the minidsp's in my truck. I also may have never turned it up all the way though either... Very possible my gains are hot enough to melt the fuck out of anything but I am not concerned as I don't run it hard pretty much ever. Ya I think i'll get more aggressive with the gain and see what happens. found my ghost. vlc on android. I can go from one song in vlc with static to the same file on winamp w/o static. wow. Wtf
  16. Fucking Dex-Cool eats engine parts from my experience. I haz no dexcool.
  17. Additives are generally speaking a joke and a waste. If they helped the oe would specify that compound in their fluid to begin with.
  18. Really great way to break a functioning auto tranny is to run it low on fluid. Preventative maintenance ftmfw.
  19. Continuity & voltage check all your wiring. If it is happening to a second amp you have a problem.
  20. I thought you were going to say, "because, backpack"
  21. Might be a stupid question, but why did you not replace it when the super charger as installed? Because it didn't have to come off. Intake pulls off the LS's QUICKLY so I only did what I needed to. Figured a short block is in my future and then I'd... yeah, whoops.
  22. No, not worth. More than an alt. Read above.
  23. I have a reserve hidden volume knob in my car to prevent idiots from frying everything. Minidsp built in volume control as a safety
  24. Time to order an alternator then, the rest has been done!
  25. Do they fail in those applications? My buddy who is mechanic yesterday said he wasn't surprised as he see's a shitload of GM ones at about 100k. I would have preventatively done it had I realized. In general though I am rather familiar with the suppliers as they are all our customers.
